tlug: GnuPG question

[Dennis McMurchy <denismcm@example.com>]

  Hi,

  Just compiling the sources for GnuPG 1.0.1.  During 'make check' I
get the following:

The system has no more ptys.  Ask your system administrator to create more.
    while executing
"spawn ../g10/gpg --no-batch --quick-random --homedir . --gen-key"
FAIL: genkey1024.test
PASS: conventional.test
====================
1 of 23 tests failed

  I've got literally hundreds of ptys, so I don't what that's about
(or what they are actually).  The "FAIL: genkey1024.test" looks like
it's not able to generate a 1024-bit key.  Could this capability have
been deliberately disabled because of US export restrictions?
Should I worry about it?  What can be done?
